My official and completely unscientific grass growing experiment Post 2 2 comments Added on 07/06/07 by

In my best judgment I have decided not to deluge you with daily updates as I continue my grass growing experiment.
Days 2-4 have been pretty un-eventful. There has been no germination as I suspected and I am following the same process that I did for the other other barren patches.
Day 2 regular watering in am and pm.
Day 3 overnight rain and early afternoon precipitation. I busted out the Scotts Lawn Fertilizer as a catalyst for germination and doused Material #1 and Material #2 equally.
Day 4 (today) I performed the same activity of watering but at 12 pm followed by raking Material #1 into the soil. Once raked throughly I then watered both Material #1 and #2. The next step was to sow more of the same brand seed (Material #1) on top of the first sowing. This was the same action taken with the other barren patches except that I put seed on Material #2. Thus, the reason for this experiment. Today I used the little green implement thing to fling the seeds instead of tossing them by hand. Finally, I gave it another watering.
Photos follow in sequence.
Raked and ready for second sowing.
Looks like a Scotts ad but it is what I have handy. Well, it is what the ladies have bought from the store. Like I would be excited about growing grass and go out and buy this stuff.
